The Trinidad letters stae, that an American schooner with 500 kegs gunpowder had arrived at Angostura from. the lin;ted States, having Dr. Rossi°, so long con flued by rite Spaniards in Ceuta, on board. Ge neral Bermudez had collected 500 soldiers, who were in the mountains of Gliira, and was soon to occupy all the coast to Cumana.

Under the date of 13th, Brigadier-General Morales ad vises that he hod taken post at Sonihrero, and expresses his intention 01 . .. remaining there dining the winter. On the 18th, he comm;micates, that near Beatriz, being on the road from Chaguarra,aas to Ofitnco„Commandant Leonardo, of the in fatury, completely destroyed the flying camp of Capt. Rafael Or mas, and two other ietacliments. Urr elate of the 25th July, General Paez, after advising thes effective state of the ahoy under his col-1111)4nd, informs, that the whole of the produce of Varittas mid the whole of the,lowcr plains of Caracas are in possession of his Guer rillas, which triumph over the enemy wherever they meet link. A select body of Genet at Paez's cavalry, composed of men, had just penetr;;ted as tar as TOUrlins, where it de stroyed a party of forty Royalists, WO proceeded on to the espied of Variicis, which it occupied without obstacle, when Calzada (a I!.,,yalist), with a division of 1,300 men, re tired to Guanarc. From Varinas the above division of General Paez countermatcbed to this side of the Apure, by Pagney, Where it had a ~encontre with the la zu,,us Captain Guerrido, and other Guei rills leaders. Goer rido, and the whole of his companions, fell into nor power, and c e rtainly he was the bravest Guerrilla leader the Spa niards had. In Pedraza, the Guerrilla or detael merit which was there, experienced the same fate, and its commander, Nicolas Ruedas, was also taken. In short, this briive bode of cavalry has returned to its canap, loaded with immense booty, bringing in a multitude of horses and prisouers, and having completely cleared the province.

Many of the enemies troops also desett river to them. (Signed) liead-quarters, Angostura, Aug. 21. C. SOUBLETTE. [Moining Post.] GENERAL GOURGAUD. The papers found in the possession of this man are s.airl to be of considerable importance, as pointing out the chief agents of the St. Helena plot, and unravelling the clue to the secret ma chinations by which hopes were entertained of effecting the release of Napoleon, and will lead to discoveries of the kighest interest. General Gout - gaud was arrested uoderthe provisions of the Alien Act, and removed from his house by virtue of a warrant from the Secretary of State, with a view to his being.sent out of the country. His behaviour (as we have already stated) was most violent ; and the Officers, in the discharge of their dot y.iti removing him, were severely bruised in the scuffle which arose from his resistance. A belief, however, is attempted to be created, that the Officers, in the execution of their duty, made use of wanton cruelty. This, we are desired to state, is without the slightest foundation. The only persons that suffered were the Officers. Upon being informed of the object of the Officers' coming, that they bad an order to remove him solder the Alien Act, he exclaimed that i; was a plan to rob hien and murder him. He flew to the window, and addressed the persons in the street, alleging that attempis, were making to rob and murder him. He wished to excite a moh to rescue him. Upon taking his papers, he tried to seize pair of loaded pistol; aud a short dagger. He was first, conveyed to the !loose of Mr. Capper, where be remained some time, in order, 'ff he chose, to send for his clothes front the lodgings he bad occupied. But this he declined. He was then put into a post-clwise, and sent oil to Har'- wieh. On his arrival at Romtord, being market day, and the inn yard full, the horses were elyinged in the open street. where there were many persons assembled. Vie then called Thieves—tnurder—l am General Goorgand— they are going to tob and murder toe." A few miles further on tie I,.‘jilred to be taken before a Magistrate. On his arrival at Harwich, he was put on board the packet,_ which is said to have sailed on Sunday night for Cuxhaven,,, PROVINCIAL JOURNALS. - • The. observations in •The (Dublin) Correspondent are always marked by. such. good sense, po- Utica' judgment, and genuine loyalty, that we con ceive it a kind . of duty to direct - our•attention to it, and we extract the following article from that .

The Bugs list) Opposition Papers, however,'continite• to flat ter the i ir Party, by circulating. a few rumours' more congenial to their, views, than those formi dable facts, which every succeeding day prodticei, and which, by establi'shing; with increasing firm ness, the foundations of public.peaceund happi nest, are become utterly destructive to all'ilreir hopes. They have, in this humour—and also to have something to condemo—been pleased to imagine, that the British Government have sub sidized a large army of Prussians, to protect Bel gium from any hostile attempt on the side of France ; and that a new army, composed of the troops of our Continental Allies, is to be formed; and to be placed tinder the com mand of the Duke of Wellington, for the purpose of observing the conduct of France. Those com plaisant efforts of imagination, which tend only to raise the spit - its for the moment, scarcely de serve to be honoured by the enmity of either truth or argument ; and as those accommodating little fables are all that. the Whigs have where with •to comftirt their ruined hopes and shattered spirits, let them enjoy them, and be as happy as they can in such enjoyment. The security of Belgium must ever be a main object with a British Statesman. It was the prize for which we fought many a battle in vain, and carried on many a tedious negotiation with out effect. To obtain for Holland a sufficient barrier to protect her against the injustice and ambition of France, some of the politiCal sages of past tithes strained all their talents, exerted all• their zeal, and employed all the powers of : the itish State ; hut anxiously and earnestly as all tho;e endeavours were made, this grand object for balancing the power of France in a most es sential place—and thereby securing that which should be the objects of all States arid Govern ments—the General Peace—was never obtained, until the Sovereign power was administered by his Royal Highness the Prince Regent, and the pith lie Councils were guided by his present iVli t Oar ancestors (bid not look beyond the security of Holland a gaimst F rance , an d a li m i te d barrier would have satisfied thew—for they dared not have aimed at that bottler and more valuable scheme of policy, which, by throwing Holland and the Netherlands into one united awl powerful State, gave the strongest guarantee that it was possible to conceive, against atiy successful ag gressions being ever made by in that quar ter. This grand design being now completed by the present advisers of the Crown, it becomes Well worth the best efforts of Brigham! to preserve it complete—to guard it against insidious schemes or open violence, until the component parts of the new union shall betirinly cemented together, tinder the wisdom and care 6f the common Go vernment, and able to resist any shocks. The obvious, importance of maintaining, in its present form and power, the kingdom of the Netherlands, has, perhaps, suggested the' extravagant fancy, that our Ministry intend to subsidize a large Prus sian army for guarding it, during the process to its complete polilical.atnelgstmation." GANG OF Roasztts.—At an early hour on Sun day mottling, several houses in Brompton-Cres cent were broke open, and robbed of a. variety of articles, by a gang of villains who have for a long time infested the neighbourhood ; and in the pa rish of Chelsea the inhabitants have been thrown into the greatest consternation by these midnight plunderers. The most active measures have been taken, and great rewards offered to discover them, but hitherto without effect. Front-one of the houses in the Crescent, a mahogany tea-chest was stolen, but afterwards found in a garden, stripped of its contents, and particularly an old-fashioned pair of tea-tongs, recently mended, with the letters 3'. B.' very legibly marked upon them. The win dow of another house was attempted to be forced open, bit -without effect. The-next was robbed of a quantity of provisions ; but probably the dis qualifiCation of the thieves preserved the game in the larder of the adjoining premises (though in all respects insecure) ; for every partridge, hare, and pheasant remained untouched, and in the greatest preservation.—The public are particularly cau tioned against leaving steps or ladders on their premises. . A melancholy accident happened on Tuesday last, at Milford, to • a Mr. DANIEL STAgancx, timber merchant at that place. He was super intending the stowing of a pile of deals, and whilst rendering a little assistance, the upper part of the pile gave way, and several of the deals fell, by which .Mr. S. was knocked down, and received so dreadful a fracture upon his head and face, as to occasion his death in about half an hour after the accident. tie was one of the sect of Quakers, a man very generally esteemed, and respected for his punctuality and fairness in the course of trade.

It was currently reported this day, that the melancholy event, so long expected, had ac tually taken place, and that her MAJESTY was released'... from all. mortal : .troubles ; but no positive intelligence to that effect had trans pired when this Paper was put to press. We shall, however, immediately make inquiry, and if the melancholy event has actually happened, in form the Public ill a Second Edition.
